MTS situated in Konstanz, Germany, aims to achieve certification of its high-end lithotripter according to EU standards beginning of 2011. The device approval puts the efficient and tissue-protective therapy for kidney stones and other urological indications within reach of European patients. lithogold380 is characterised by a focal area of 20x100mm, a penetration depth of 165mm as well as a maximum treatment pressure of 36,6 MPa. It is proven that the huge therapeutic area reduces the re-treatment rate to less than 7%. Its limited treatment pressure assures a tissue-protective therapy requesting less anaesthesia.
